The Prince of Wales Heir.
From a London Letter.

IIOHt u LOHiOn Letter.
In everything except the indispensable tawny
beard that falls like roll of dead gold silk to
the extremity of massive chest, Prince Albert
Victor, the eldest son of the Prince of Wales,
models himself on Ouida's heroes. He is as fond
of knickknacks as a lady, Hin; private apart
ments are the nearest approach 70 the talented
but vulgar authoTeSs ideal of young Guards
mans rooms. lie would not brush his hair
otherwise than with an ivory backed brush to
save his life. Eau dc Cologne and other per
fumes have their place in his bath. To write a
note on paper that was not the triumph of the
perfumer'S art would, in his own imagination
be unworthy OF his tastes and position
He has started in life, in fact, as
an exquisite of the George ". type:
but luckily for himself and for the
nation, he is preserved from some of the most
Objectionable traits of the First Gentleman's''
character by the sensitive shyness of his dis
position. He differs again from most eXquisites
in having praiseworthy desire TO pay promptly
for the Injuries in which he INDUCES Indeed
he worries his attendants TO worry his trades
people TO send in their bills sharp, and frets and
fumes if the astute shopkeeper-alive to the
value of having the future King of England
upon their books within decent limts-delay in
delivering their accounts. Like his father he
gets his cothes-and plenty of them-from
Poole. Prince Albert Nictors idea of digniflcd
mutt is a frock coat and lavender or gray trous-
erS. lie seldom wears q Cutaway coat, and
even when travelling hardly ever appears in a
suit of dittocs On the whole. he may be de
scribed as very stately and solemn young man.

The Jury Exenntion Bill.

The bill now pending in the Legislature to
repeal the law which exempts from jury
duty a certain number of members of mill
tary companies in this city is not regarded
with favor by the city's military organiza-
tions. Those members of the companies
who have expressed an opinion with regard
to it admit that there are strong arguments
in its favor, but claim that the law, which
it is proposed to repeal, affords them the
only source of revenue they have outside of
the dues which the members of the compa
MES pay
There is no doubt that our military or
CARNATIONS should have assistance from the
State. If disturbance should occur that
could not be quelled by the peace officers
the military organizations would be required
to render assistance. These organizations,
which are subject to the call of the State,
and which are ready at all times to respond,
ought to have part of their expenses borne
by the State. 1t is neither right nor just to
depend upon them for protection, when the
officers of the law are powerless to afford it,
without helping them to bear the burdens
which arc necessarily imposed upon them.
Georgias policy in dealing with her
militia is narrow and illiberal, and in strik-
ing contrast with that of some other States
which are not so able to pursue generous
policy as she is. Her failure to deal justly
with her military organizations, however,
ought not to be sufficient excuse for legis
lation which tends to bring the jury system
into disrepute, and helps to defeat JUS
tice. The law which the Cor
don bill seeks to repeal not only
lessons the number of citizens from which
jurors can be drawn, but operates to exempt
those who are, or ought to be- among the
most influential in forming public sentiment
in favor of vigorous enforcement of the
laws. A man who avoids jury duty cannot
have much influence in creating healthy
public opinion against lawlessness
It is generally admitted that the exemr-
ton law, so far as the best interests of the
community are concerned, is not a wise one,
and the only ground on which it is defended
is that it relieves the military companies of
part of their burden. .a
1t would be far better for the State to re-
peal all special exemption laws relating to
military companies and to give to the COM
panies direct FROM the Treasury the assist
ance they now get from these laws. If tho
Legislature win give the subject careful
consideration it can hardly fail to reach
this conclusion.

A Word for the Cotton FACTOR

There has been some discussion recently
in the press of the Southwest respecting the
relations of tho farmer to the cotton trade.
The tenor of somo of the articles has been to
show that the farmer would get a better
price for his cotton if he sold directly TO the
agent of the spinner, and ignored the factor
altogether The money now made by the
factor, it was claimed, would 60 into tho
pocket OF the farmer, and besides, better
price would be obtained for cotton In dis
cussing the subject the Galveston Ne,Cs has
this to say:
Tho cotton factor is essentially interested
in high prices and in getting a good
figure for his constituents; the spinper's
buyer is essentially interested in low
prices and in get ,ng cotton at low figures
for his constituents. Spinners and their
buyers arcwell organized; cotton producers
are not. The bugaboo about the middle
man, or cotton factor, which the spinner
and his agents have artfully raised, is
being exploded. The cotton factor has
been held up as the enemy of the cotton
producer, a kind of ghoul that has come in
between him and the manufacturer of the
sUdPiS 'tuu educH up dli INC prOlHs. is Jne
manufactures of the raw staple the pro-
ducer's friend in that he is anxious to pay
him higher price for his products' Not
much. Self-interest decides this question
at once, and self-intercst dictates that the
cotton producer and the cotton factor shall
come once more together and make COM
mon and combined cause against the we'll
organized combinations of spinners and
their buyers

"A Western gentleman" seems to have
taken the place of "a prominent politician
in Washington. Such gentleman" is
authority for the statement that Postmaster
General Villas wants to he the Democratic
candidate for Vice President next year, and
the Democratic candidate for President in
1892. Whether this gentleman" is cor
rect or not, there is no reason why the Post
master General should not desire to be the
candidate for Vice President lie is good
Democrat, has done the party valuable
service, and he is from the West As to
being candidate for President in 1892, he
can afford TO let that matter rest until 1892
draws somewhat nearer.

Editor Joseph Medill, of the Chicago

about the Ohio Republican convention. He
said: ''All that furry out there amounts

well be q Vermont town meeting as far as
any binding force is concerned We broke
UP the State unit rule in national conven-
tions long ago. No State convention can
now do more than restrict its four delegates
at large. 1t cannot bind a single district
delegate. There is no State sovereignty in
the Republican party organization. This
convention at Toledo had not even delegates
TO instruct, and the convention OF next year
may or may not follow its lead. So there
is nothing in it except the expression of
friends and neighbors that they believe in

The FerrY-Boulanger Affair.

1t doesn't look as if Gen Boulanger and
NJ Ferry would have q shot at each other
after all. The friends of the principals have
failed to arrange a meeting. Gen Boulan-
ger insisted upon conditions which were not
acceptable to N. Ferry, and SO negotiations
were brought to sudden termination.
Gen. Boulanger took exception to some
words spoken by NJ Ferry in speech de
livered at a banquet TO the rife societies at
Epinal. What NJ. Ferry said was that the
government would not follow the mob be
hind the car of god of the music halls :"
He did not intend tho expression to be Of
fensive, and doubtless Gen. Boulanger
would not have considered it so if he had
not, little while before the delivery of NJ
Ferry's speech, lost favor with the govern
ment and been sent away from the capital
The truth of what NJ. Ferry said will
hardly be questioned, and that his motive
was patriotic rather than personal win not be
doubted by those who know him well Why
then should he be forced to take the chances
of being shot:
NJ Ferry is q very prominent man and
has wcl,-establshed reputation for ability
aud courage. Doubtless Gen. Boulanger
hoped to increase his popularity in the music
halls by putting q bullet into NJ. Ferry's
body. The fact that he insisted upon terms
in the proposed duel that would have re
suited in one or both of the principals get
ting hurt, indicates that he was seeking not
satisfaction for what, at most, was very
slight atfront, but to make the most of an
opportunity to advance his political for
tunes. The outcome of the affair will not
| injure NJ. Ferry's standing with the best
element of his fellow countrymen.
